M. Editor I'VE have had shot at us the
triplejointed programme of the grand az.
gregation OF new bosses in solemn conclave
assembled. may be writing at random,
but have heard that IL. Kyd Douglass, of
Washington county, has sent his name ahd
the almighty dollar" 10 the State Genital
Committee and asks our people 10 support
him for Attorney General. The budding
bosses dictate Roberts, LeCsmpte and Fisher
to be voted for as a aoltoLe, leaving TO thafaan
who wants to make up his own ticket Baugh-
man and Douglass. The voter who thinks
for himself is under obligation to this Su-
preme Council of Dictators that they have
left him two home men to vote for If it is
reduced to choice of dictaton those who die
tate Baughman and Douglass have shown
the NEST sense and better knowledge OF
Montgomery county people. With two
Sixth District men 10 select from, aud
neither selected as worthy place on their
ticket, the Roberts, LeCompte and Fisher
managers are liable to the charge Of being
opposed TO home people.

MT. IIuttO -
ResOlyed, That the management of the
affairs Of the Democratic party in Mary
land belongs to the pure and elect.
ResOIoed, That we are the pure and elect.
Proceeding in strict accordance with these
resolutions, an ambitious member of the
"pure and elect" in your last weeks issue
sets up Estate ticket for the people" and
proclaims the "slate" which has been care
fully made up by the ornamental and use
full political sect of which he Is . member
and the official spokesman in the present
crisis. Not content with importing can
didate for Governor from Carroll county,
he presumes to dictate an entire State ticket
to the people Of Montgomery county, even
to a Comptroller, giving the entire history
of his "ring" candidate for this position, ex-
cept the date Of his baptism and what the
middle initial of his name stands for. 1t did
not suffice this political bsss to issue an or
der to the slaves and surfs of the Demo,
cratic party TO give this county TO Mr.. Rob
cts, but, "whole hog or nene," this county
must go for Roberts, Fisher and LeCompte,
especially LeCompte.
While have nothing 10 say derogatory
of Mr., Lecompte or any of these gentlemen,
l do not understand how it is that man
prospecting for strong man, an excellent
official and good Democrat would overlook
the claims Of Mr.. Turner, whose admins
tration as Comptroller without being in-
vidious) has been about the most successful
this State has known for some years A
tried man, successful official, in whom the
business interests of the state have implicit
confidence, must give way 10 an experiment
-aimpl Y -hecapse Il docs pDi-sujt the prefer
ences OF the "new ring and the policy Of
absolute dictaton they have resolved to
pursue. The people might Aave submitted
to one dose OF the reform panacea, but three
doses at one swallow is little TO strong ior
cur stomachs. We had some confidence in
this righteous indignation against dicta-
ton, but this grandiloquent article in your
last weeks issue, "A State Ticket for the
people," shows a dictaton that has nothing
in the world to recommend ii.

aThe Isstie Joined-Baughman and
Roberta


Mr.. Editor 1t seems very strange that
there should be any contest In this county
Between these candidates for the Governor
ship. Both are good men and good Demo
Gratis beyond question.
Mr.. Roberts is at present filling one of the
highest offices in the gift of our people, that

sented his District in Congress Is he TO
have all the honors? This is not Demo.
cratic.
There are others equally mertorious and
who would fill this exalted position of Gov
ernor with as much ability, and wins GER
tainly have more claims upon the people
for support. Among these | take much
pleasure in naming Col. L. Victor Baugh-
man, of Frederick county-the man who
made the gallant fight last Fall for Con-
gross In the face of certain defeat. And
not only that, but he accepted the n0mina-
ton against his judgment and wishes, and
only took up the standard In obedience to
the opportunities Of all the leading mem
beers of his party, regardless of faction. Who
In the Sixth District will ever forget the
gallant fight he made, and who will over
look the fact that he reduced the majority
of the most popular Republican in Mary
land, Hon. l.. e. McComas, from 1916 to
413?
Then too look at his administration of the
canal, with numerous breaks disasters, &C.,
has he not kept 1t open and the employees
are not selling their time either. do not
claim that Col. Baughman will make bet
ter Governor than Mr. Roberts, but i do
claim that he is in every way not only his,
but the peer Of any public man in Maryland
Then too his interests are our interests. Liv-
10 thesamc Congressional Distrietan Judi.
cial Circuit he is one of our political family
and in many contests here le Las aided
Us most nobly, whilst on the other hand Mr..
Roberts was never known to DO in this
sfsAe4z, We once whom aeandii9a- his,--is
for ATtsrney General. And note this fact
in the State convention Of 1879 Mr.. Roberts
voted for Hon. James Franklin, of Anne
Arundel county, instead Of Hon. Spencer G.
Jones, of Montgomery county, for Clerk of
the Court of Appeals.
Under these circumstances it strikes me
that we should earnestly support Col. Baugh-
man. Allegany, Garrett and Frederick coun-
ties have already instructed their delegates
to support him, Washington will most likely
do the same, and Montgomery, more closely
allied to Frederick than either Allegany,
Garrett or Washington, (being in the same
judicial circuiD certainly should not be
wanting in joining a solid delegation from
the Sixth District in the interest of Frede-
rick's favorite son. Ton.
